Dr. William Sims Bainbridge (born 1940-10-12) is an American sociologist who resides in Virginia, United States. He is co-director of Human-Centered Computing at the National Science Foundation (NSF) and also teaches sociology as a part-time professor at George Mason University. Bainbridge is most well known for his controversial work on the sociology of religion.

He studied the religious cult The Children of God, also known as the Family International, in his 2002 book The Endtime Family: Children of God. The Family International regards him a favorable academic expert and has cooperated with his research and provided him with access granted to very few other academics. In the late 1990s, Family leadership helped him distribute a survey to hundreds of its members.
